Carlo Ancelotti says he doesn't "owe" anyone a place in his Brazil 2026 World Cup squad after once again being asked about Santos star Neymar's prospects. The Brazil icon has repeatedly been left out of recent national squads due to injury issues, but after scoring a hat-trick for his club last time out, speculation over his World Cup place is intensifying. However, the Italian made it clear he will not be pressured into certain picks.

Neymar was 'Brazil's undisputed star'

According to two Brazilian greats, Neymar has been an icon for the national team over the past decade or so. He was their standard bearer at their home World Cup in 2014 as they bowed out in the semi-finals to a rampant Germany, but also helped them win gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics. The former Barcelona star was once one of the best players in the world but now he is 33 and has struggled with form and injury in his second spell at boyhood club Santos, although he has come good right at the end of the season for them as they aim to stave off relegation. Indeed, ex-AC Milan ace Cafu says that the forward is not the player he once was.

He told : "For 15 years, Neymar was Brazil's undisputed star, carrying enormous expectations and responsibility on his own. But no one wins the World Cup alone. Putting all our hopes on him at the moment is difficult because he struggles to even play three games in a row."

Despite that, 2002 World Cup winner Ronaldo has complete faith in his compatriot. "He's a crucial player for Brazil – there's no one else like Neymar. It's an exaggeration from a minority who believe he's neglecting his physical recovery. Anyone who has been in football knows perfectly how hard it is to come back from an injury and regain rhythm and confidence. He's right on track," he said.

Earlier this week, Ancelotti warned Neymar and Vinicius Junior, who has also struggled with injuries of late, that they need to be at "100%" to make Brazil's World Cup squad. 

He said: "There are many players who are very good, I need to choose players that are 100%. It's not just Neymar, it could be [Real Madrid forward] Vinicius. If Vinicius is at 90%, I'll call up another player who is at 100%, because it's a team that has a very high level of competence, especially up front. Up front, we have really many good players."

After Brazil found out they have Scotland, Morocco, and Haiti in their 2026 World Cup group, the Italian was once again asked about Neymar's chances of being involved in the tournament.

He told reporters on Friday: "If we talk about Neymar, we have to talk about other players. We have to think about Brazil, which can be with Neymar or without Neymar, with other players or without other players. The definitive list we will make after the FIFA date in March. I understand very well that they are very interested in Neymar, I want to clarify that we are in December, the World Cup is in June, I will choose the team that will go to the World Cup in May. If Neymar deserves to be, if he is well, better than someone else, he will play in the World Cup and period. I don't owe anyone a debt."

Who will be Brazil's next leader?

Ancelotti was also asked which of his players can inspire Brazil to World Cup glory. The national side is packed with quality players such as Vinicius, Rodrygo, Estevao, Raphinha, and more. Despite all that talent, the former Real Madrid boss gave little away.

"I can make a list of players who can be protagonists in the World Cup," he said. "It may be that now we don't have a referential player in this sense, but we will have many referential players. I can make a list, we have one of the best goalkeepers in the world, some of the best defenders, top midfielders and some players up front. I said I don't want players who want to be the best in the world, I want players who want to win the Cup. The important thing is not to have referents, but to have players who want to win."

GettyNeymar faces uncertain future

At the end of the season, Neymar is expected to have arthroscopic surgery to address a meniscus injury in his left knee. For now, he is trying to keep Santos in the Brazilian top flight, with Neymar's side currently just outside the relegation zone with one game remaining. After that, though, the veteran – who scored a hat-trick against Juventude this week – doesn't know what lies ahead for him in 2026, with his contract expiring in a matter of weeks.

He told this week: "I don’t know, honestly. First, I want to finish this season and then think about it. Santos always comes first. I’m very happy for the goals and for helping Santos. We’re happy for the win. There’s one game left, and we have to give our all at Vila again. I always prioritise my health, nothing that would harm my career. It’s [the injury] manageable, something I’ve been dealing with for years. I’m doing everything to reach 100 percent. Scoring the goals today made me really happy. I’ve always been Neymar in every match, regardless of the situation. Sometimes things don’t go as planned because of the team’s form or injuries, but I’ve always shown up. I know what I can do on the pitch and always aim to give my best."

The pressure is growing on Arne Slot to turn things around at Liverpool and Michael Edwards could now reportedly hire a former Premier League manager.

Arne Slot admits "shock" as Liverpool crisis mounts

The 3-0 defeat at Anfield against Nottingham Forest signalled that Liverpool were in a crisis, but last night’s 4-1 defeat against PSV Eindhoven signalled that Slot may not be able to find his way out of that crisis. The Reds are on a historically disastrous run, having smashed their transfer record twice in the summer to back their Premier League title-winning manager.

It’s the most unexpected run from a side that many backed to retain the English crown and Slot admitted that it’s also been a “shock” to him in recent weeks.

Liverpool aren’t a sacking club, historically speaking, but reports have now claimed that Edwards admires Ange Postecoglou and the pressure is growing on Slot to turn things around.

Liverpool eyeing Postecoglou as Joyce reveals crisis talks

Paul Joyce revealed on social media that the hierarchy have held talks with Slot on Thursday.

And according to TeamTalk, Edwards is an admirer of Postecoglou and has not been deterred by the Aussie’s failure at Nottingham Forest or by how his final Premier League season ended at Tottenham Hotspur.

Postecoglou, who deploys an attack-minded 4-3-3 formation with a high defensive line and has publicly stated he demands “relentless” pressing from his sides, has been out of work since an 8-game spell with Forest which returned just 0.25 points per game.

Sources at Anfield told TeamTalk that Slot is “under pressure” but not in immediate danger of being sacked.

It’s a tough situation for Liverpool chiefs. Slot became just the second manager to give them a Premier League title last season, but there’s no denying that recent results have been unacceptable and there are serious questions as to whether he can turn things around given his side make the same mistakes week in week out.

Cristiano Ronaldo was filmed launching into a sarcastic tirade against the referee during Al-Nassr’s 3–1 victory over Neom in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday. The Portuguese forward always played with his heart on his sleeve and couldn't hide his frustrations despite scoring as his team continued their perfect start to the new league campaign in 2025-26.

• Ronaldo’s anger caught on camera

  The incident happened after the referee blew for half-time with the score still locked at 0-0. Ronaldo was visibly frustrated that the referee had halted a promising Al-Nassr attack. While walking towards the tunnel, he approached the official and delivered a pointed message that was dripping with irony, as reported by .

  Ronaldo was heard saying: “Well done, well done. Keep going like that, you’re doing a good game – very good game you do.”

  Ronaldo is chasing the once-seemingly impossible dream of 1,000 career goals, and he delivered when it mattered most. A penalty was won after Joao Felix was shoved in the back while chasing the rebound from Ronaldo’s own blocked effort. This gave the captain the perfect chance to settle the contest. Ronaldo stepped up to do the honours from 12 yards and, facing his compatriot Luis Maximiano in goal, he made no mistake from 12 yards to convert his attempt. He fired low and precise into the corner to bring up his 953rd career goal, which was also his 83rd strike in the Saudi Pro League since joining Al-Nassr in early 2023.

  Dominant Al-Nassr extend perfect start

  Ronaldo’s penalty doubled Al-Nassr’s lead after Angelo Gabriel opened the scoring just two minutes into the second half. Neom were already struggling to keep pace, and imploded further when Luciano Rodríguez was sent off for a reckless elbow midway through the second half. The red card effectively ended their resistance, and Al-Nassr cruised home with their eighth straight league victory. Since arriving in Riyadh, Ronaldo has scored 35 goals in his first full season, followed by 25 last year, and is now on course to surpass both tallies in his third campaign. Only Felix has outscored him this season as the 25-year-old added a late goal against Neom, which was his 10th of the campaign. 

• Ronaldo shared a defiant post-match message

  After the final whistle, any hint of irritation was gone. On social media, he posted a typically cryptic message, which read: "Working on our dream." The Saudi giants are hunting their first domestic crown under Ronaldo’s captaincy, and at this rate, few would bet against them.

  Even at 40, Ronaldo’s appetite for goals is undiminished. In 2025 alone, he has averaged better than a goal per game, bringing him within touching distance of the mythical 1,000-goal milestone. Behind him on the Saudi scoring charts is Aleksandar Mitrovic, whose 47 league goals since 2023 look modest compared to Ronaldo’s astonishing 83.

  International duty beckoning Ronaldo

  Away from domestic duties, Ronaldo’s focus now shifts to international football. He will link up with Portugal this week for their World Cup qualifying campaign, with upcoming fixtures against Ireland in Dublin and Armenia in Lisbon. Ahead of those games, he revisited a question that has followed him for years, whether he needs a World Cup to complete his legacy?

  "If you ask me, ‘Cristiano, is it a dream to win the World Cup?’ No, it’s not a dream," Ronaldo said to . "To win the World Cup, nothing will change my name in the history of football, I’m not going to lie. One thing that I’m sure of [is] that I will enjoy the moment. The moment is the most important thing that we have. We are not qualified already. Enjoy the moment.

  "In my mind, I’m not thinking in that way. Of course, you want to win, yeah. When you compete, you want to win… for me, [winning the World Cup] is not going to change the way I see things. We won three titles for Portugal. Before, Portugal had never won [anything]. Portugal have never won a World Cup. ‘Yeah, but they can win.’ Yes, we’re going to fight for that. But [using it to] define [me] at 40 years old, 41? To define what? To define if I’m one of the best in history? To win one competition, six games, seven games? You think it’s fair? It’s not fair."

  After he returns from international duty, Ronaldo will face sixth-placed Al-Khaleej on November 23, followed by an AFC Cup tie against Istiklol.

The Blue Jays came within a hair’s breadth of winning the World Series in Game 7 on Saturday night. Literally, and on multiple occasions. But the most painful miss came in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Toronto had loaded the bases on Dodgers star Yoshinobu Yamamoto with only one out and the game tied. Utility infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa was on third base as the pinch runner for Bo Bichette. Daulton Varsho was at the plate and smacked a grounder right at Los Angeles second baseman Miguel Rojas. Rojas fielded the grounder cleanly but stumbled as he was trying to throw out Kiner-Falefa at home. He managed to get it there just in time. On the other end, catcher Will Smith briefly lifted his foot off the plate to grab Rojas’s throw and only just got it back down in time. The Dodgers earned the force out, got the last out of the inning one batter later, and were World Series champions yet again shortly thereafter.

Afterwards there was much talk of how narrowly the Blue Jays lost the deciding game of the Fall Classic, and there was no shortage of fans calling out Kiner-Falefa for potentially costing his team the game. A birds-eye view showed he had a very, very small lead off the third-base bag when Varsho hit the grounder. Given Rojas’s stumble and Smith lifting his foot off the plate, it seems quite possible (if not likely) that Kiner-Falefa would have been safe if he had taken a normal lead from the start or a secondary lead after the ball was hit.

Kiner-Falefa was asked about the decision to stick close to the bag after his team lost in devastating fashion. The veteran revealed it was the coaching staff’s call in order to avoid any possibility of a double play if Varsho hit a liner to third baseman Max Muncy.

“They told us to stay close to the base,” Kiner-Falefa said per Sportsnet’s Ben Nicholson-Smith. “They don’t want us to get doubled off in that situation with a hard line drive. Varsho hits the ball really, really hard. [Muncy’s] right there, I’m waiting for a backpack from Will Smith in that situation. I can’t get doubled off right there so it’s almost like bases loaded. They wanted a smaller lead and a smaller secondary, so that’s what I did.

“It was obviously a tough play. They got it done. The lead is small. In that situation, you can’t get doubled off. I got the best secondary I could from that spot and it didn’t work out.”

It’s a sensible explanation, especially in light of how Game 6 ended. The Blue Jays had men on second and third with one out in the bottom of the ninth in a one-run game, but Addison Barger drifed too far off second and got doubled up to end the game following a hard line drive to Kiké Hernández in left field. It lines up that the Toronto coaches were extra aware of the possibility in Game 7 in that context.

Obviously they would have played it differently in retrospect. Such is the pain of sports. It all seems so clear with the benefit of hindsight.

A gut-wrenching loss for the Blue Jays, who now have several months to reflect on whether an extra step off the bag by Kiner-Falefa could have changed everything.

Nascido em Goiatuba, Goiás, Sonny deixou o Brasil cedo, mas nunca se distanciou da admiração dos torcedores brasileiros, especialmente após se tornar um dos mais respeitados atacantes da Ligue 1. Em Monaco e principalmente no Lyon, ele escreveu alguns dos capítulos mais importantes de sua trajetória, acumulando títulos, artilharias e a reputação de ser um dos centroavantes mais completos da Europa na virada dos anos 1990 para os 2000.

Sua passagem pelo Barcelona também marcou época, mesmo competindo por espaço com nomes como Luis Enrique e Patrick Kluivert. Ainda assim, conseguiu números consistentes, gols decisivos e participação direta na conquista de títulos importantes. O respeito conquistado no futebol europeu abriu portas não apenas para trabalhos posteriores em clubes, como também para uma carreira midiática sólida após pendurar as chuteiras.

A última fase da trajetória de Sonny como jogador incluiu experiências no Catar, onde manteve alto nível de desempenho, e posteriormente o retorno ao Lyon para atuar como auxiliar técnico e treinador de atacantes. Após encerrar a carreira nos gramados, o ex-atacante consolidou nova fase profissional longe das quatro linhas, mas mantendo forte ligação com o esporte. Hoje, aos 55 anos, ele segue na Europa e permanece figura constante no noticiário esportivo, seja como comentarista, em eventos, entrevistas ou projetos pessoais ligados ao futebol.

Por onde anda Sonny Anderson?

Após uma carreira marcada por gols e conquistas, Sonny Anderson (@sonnyandersonofficiel) vive hoje na França, país onde se tornou ídolo e consolidou seu nome na história do futebol europeu. Ele se estabeleceu no país desde o fim dos anos 1990, quando vestiu as camisas de Monaco e Lyon, e nunca mais se desvinculou definitivamente do futebol francês. Sua identificação com o país é tão forte que até hoje ele é reconhecido como uma das maiores referências de estrangeiros da história da Ligue 1.

Atualmente, Sonny trabalha como comentarista esportivo do canal internacional beIN Sports, onde participa de transmissões, mesas redondas e programas especiais sobre futebol europeu. Sua análise é considerada equilibrada, técnica e muito bem fundamentada, o que lhe garantiu espaço permanente entre os principais nomes da emissora. Além da televisão, Sonny também produz conteúdos para redes sociais e participa de eventos da CBF e da Ligue 1, mantendo presença ativa em duas das ligas mais acompanhadas do mundo pelos fãs brasileiros.

Ao mesmo tempo, Sonny segue envolvido com projetos relacionados ao futebol, incluindo consultoria e participação em iniciativas de gestão e parcerias esportivas. Em várias ocasiões, ele também atua como embaixador informal de clubes franceses, especialmente Lyon e Monaco, participando de ações promocionais, entrevistas oficiais e eventos comemorativos. Sua relação com o Lyon, aliás, segue extremamente forte: ele é lembrado como um dos maiores atacantes da história do clube, tendo marcado 71 gols em 110 partidas pela equipe que dominou o futebol francês no início dos anos 2000.

Sonny também mantém uma presença ativa nas redes sociais, onde divulga trabalhos, comenta partidas e interage com fãs. Sua conta oficial apresenta referências claras à sua vida atual: a ligação com o futebol francês (especialmente Lyon e beIN Sports), parcerias profissionais e a forte conexão com sua trajetória esportiva. Sempre elegante e discreto, o ex-atacante é apontado por colegas como um dos atletas mais profissionais e dedicados da geração que brilhou nos anos 1990 e 2000.

Além de sua atuação midiática, Sonny ocasionalmente participa de eventos corporativos e de iniciativas de treinamento e mentoria para jovens atacantes. Sua experiência como finalizador, acumulada em mais de 450 jogos profissionais e 230 gols marcados, faz dele um nome frequentemente requisitado para compartilhar conhecimentos técnicos sobre movimentação, leitura de jogo e posicionamento ofensivo. Embora não tenha seguido carreira longa como treinador — sua única experiência foi no Neuchâtel Xamax, em 2011 — ele ainda é uma figura respeitada por dirigentes, ex-companheiros e treinadores do futebol europeu.

Com vida estável na Europa, Sonny Anderson mantém o Brasil como referência afetiva, mas sua rotina está totalmente ligada ao futebol francês e ao trabalho em mídia esportiva. A carreira sólida, o profissionalismo e o enorme respeito conquistado dentro e fora de campo tornam o ex-atacante um dos exemplos mais equilibrados de transição pós-aposentadoria: sem escândalos, discreto e sempre associado ao jogo que o consagrou. Quase duas décadas após pendurar as chuteiras, Sonny segue relevante, presente e admirado por gerações de torcedores que o viram brilhar no Vasco, no Barcelona e especialmente no Lyon.

The Chicago Cubs acquired pitcher Mike Soroka on July 30, one day before the MLB trade deadline, and the starter made his Cubs debut on Monday. Unfortunately, his first start with the Cubs was cut very short.

The Cubs pulled Soroka after just two innings vs. the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night as he was dealing with right shoulder discomfort, ESPN's Jesse Rogers reported. Manager Craig Counsell told reporters after the game that Soroka will land on the injured list, but it's unknown for how long or what the severity of his injury is at this time.

In his short outing, Soroka struck out three batters, gave up one run, which was a home run hit by Tyler Stephenson, and walked one batter.

Soroka was seen speaking to Counsell in the dugout ahead of the third inning.

Cubs starter Ben Brown jumped in for Soroka in the third inning as he's been resting since July 27.

The Cubs will surely hope that Soroka's soreness doesn't turn into a more serious issue. The team was in dire need of some star aces ahead of the trade deadline, and Soroka was their answer. Chicago also traded for some relievers, but Soroka was the "big name" starter the team secured.

The 2025 season hasn't been Soroka's best by any means. In 16 starts with the Nationals this season, Soroka was 3-8 with a 4.87 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 87 strikeouts against 24 walks in 81 1/3 innings.

Nottinghamshire 189 for 2 trail Somerset 438 (Rew 166, Abell 156, Abbas 3-60) by 249 runs Captain Haseeb Hameed’s third century of the season helped title-chasing Nottinghamshire build a solid foundation in reply to Somerset’s 438 on day two of their Rothesay County Championship clash at Trent Bridge.Hameed, who struck 15 fours and two sixes, also passed 1,000 first-class runs for the season with the same shot that completed his hundred. He had earlier shared a stand of 101 for the second wicket with Freddie McCann (48).At 189 for two, though, Nottinghamshire, who began this round one point behind Division One leaders and defending champions Surrey, still have much work to do, trailing by 249 runs even after third-placed Somerset lost their last seven wickets for 100, Mohammad Abbas (three for 60) and Dillon Pennington (three for 71) sharing the bowling honours for the home side.Somerset’s 438 all out – while a total not to be sniffed at after being asked to bat first – perversely still felt like fewer than Somerset probably should have accumulated on a pitch with little in it for the bowling side, given that they had been 338 for three before Tom Abell’s demise shortly before Tuesday’s close,Abbas excepted, Nottinghamshire had not been at their best with the ball on the opening day. They looked better for a night’s reflection, yet most of the damage suffered by Somerset was to some degree self-inflicted.Of the four wickets to fall in adding 58 before lunch, nightwatchman Jack Leach cut the first ball of the day straight to backward point, after which James Rew fell into a trap set on the leg side as his impressive 166 ended with him athletically caught behind pulling.Tom Banton, chasing a wide one, and Archie Vaughan, nibbling outside off stump, gave Joe Clarke two much easier catches in his latest tour of duty keeping wicket, this time because Kyle Verreynne is back home in South Africa for an awards ceremony. Migael Pretorius popped back a tame return catch for Calvin Harrison soon after lunch.Craig Overton’s 31 not out was the third highest score in an innings dominated by Rew’s 313-run fourth-wicket stand with Abell (156). Jake Ball, the former Nottinghamshire quick, made 24 against his old mates before chipping back a catch to Liam Patterson-White after 41 were added for the last wicketOpening a Nottinghamshire innings for the 100th time together – matching the feats of Chris Broad and Tim Robinson, and Darren Bicknell and Jason Gallian as the only opening pairs to reach that milestone for the county since 1960 – Haseeb and Ben Slater were quickly parted, Slater falling to the eighth ball of the innings, shouldering arms to a ball from Craig Overton that clipped his off stump.Yet it took another 28 overs for the Somerset attack to make a second incision. McCann was looking to match Hameed, who had just completed an 87-ball half-century, when Ball offered him a delivery wide of off stump. It was a boundary for the taking to the short side of the square but he flashed at the ball and it took the edge, Rew having no problem taking the catch.If this represented a potential opening for Somerset, though, it was not one that offered any more than a glimpse of light, as Hameed and Clarke negotiated a safe passage through the 25 overs that remained.Hameed survived a chance on 91, albeit a difficult one, when he drove a ball back hard at Pretorius, who instinctively flung out a hand but could only prevent runs. The Nottinghamshire skipper celebrated his reprieve by lofting Vaughan’s off spin down the ground, not cleanly but with enough power to beat the fielder and the boundary for his second six, then patiently waiting on 99 to drive the same bowler to the long-on boundary for his 15th four and his 18th first-class century.

انتهى الشوط الأول بين ريال مدريد ومانشستر سيتي بتقدم الأخير بهدفين لهدف في إطار منافسات مرحلة الدوري لدوري أبطال أوروبا.

وسجل ريال مدريد الهدف الأول عن طريق البرازيلي رودريجو بتسديدة رائعة من داخل منطقة الجزاء في الدقيقة 28.

وتعادل نيكو أوريلي لصالح مانشستر سيتي في الدقيقة 35 بعد خطأ من تيبو كورتوا والذي سقطت الكرة من يده بعد رأسية من الكرواتي جوسكو جفارديول.

وفي الدقيقة 42 احتسب الحكم ركلة جزاء لصالح النرويجي هالاند بعد خطأ من الألماني روديجر لينفذها النرويجي بنجاح في شباك البلجيكي.

وصرح الخبير التحكيمي بيريز بورول لصحيفة “الماركا” تعليقاً على هذا القرار من الحكم توربان بعد مراجعة تقنية الفار: “لقد أمسك روديجر هالاند ومنعه من التسديد”.

وأكد بورول في برنامج على “رادو ماركا”: “القرار صحيح من الحكم الفرنسي”.

أفادت تقارير إعلامية اليوم الخميس، عن وجود أنباء سارة في نادي ريال مدريد، وذلك بالرغم من الهزيمة أمام مانشستر سيتي في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

ريال مدريد واصل نتائجه السيئة خلال الفترة الأخيرة، وتعرض إلى خسارة قاسية على أرضه ووسط جماهيره أمام مانشستر سيتي بهدفين مقابل هدف، ضمن الجولة السادسة من مرحلة الدوري في دوري الأبطال.

ويمر ريال مدريد بوضعية صعبة للغاية هذا الموسم، خصوصًا على مستوى الإصابات، حيث يفتقد الفريق الملكي إلى العديد من اللاعبين بسبب الإصابة.

ومن بين لاعبي ريال مدريد المصابين في الوقت الحالي، إيدير ميليتاو، والذي تعرض لإصابة قاسية خلال لقاء الميرنجي ضد سيلتا فيجو يوم الأحد الماضي بالدوري الإسباني.

ومن المتوقع أن يغيب ميليتاو عن الملاعب لمدة سوف تصل إلى أربعة أشهر، من أجل التعافي في إصابته في الركبة.

لكن بحسب “البرنابيو ديجيتال”، فإن ميليتاو لن يغيب لمدة أربعة اشهر، وإنما سوف يغيب اللاعب البالغ من العمر 27 عامًا لمدة شهرين فقط بسبب الإصابة.

وبالتالي قد يكون ميليتاو جاهزًا للعب مع ريال مدريد خلال شهر فبراير المقبل، حيث ينافس الفريق الملكي على كافة المسابقات مع ألونسو.

NEW YORK — Garrett Crochet recoils at the premise. At 26, after 205 ⅓ innings (most in the American League), 255 strikeouts (most in the majors) and a 2.59 ERA (third in the AL) for the 89-win Red Sox, on the cusp of starting Game 1 of the American League wild-card series against the Yankees, he’s finally the guy he always knew he could be, right?

“Um,” he says quickly. “Becoming it.” 

For starters, he didn’t always know he could be this kind of starter. Not until he began throwing 91 mph as a left-handed high school senior did any Division I programs show interest, and even at Tennessee, he spent half his time pitching in relief. When the White Sox drafted him No. 11 in June 2020 and promoted him to the big-league bullpen three months later, he was just thrilled to be in the majors. So he was not exactly clawing at the walls of the bullpen asking to be unleashed on the rotation. 

“I thought that I could do it,” he says slowly. “I wasn’t sure.”

Even that degree of faith began to feel misplaced. In 2021, he threw 54 ⅓ innings in relief and felt gassed. “And I’m, like, last on my team!” he recalls. He set for himself the goal of hitting 80 or 90 innings in ’22, then putting himself in position for a few spot starts in ’23. “And then I blew out [my elbow],” he says. “It was like, ”

The Chicago brass knew he had the talent to be a frontline starter—a four-seamer that touches 100 mph plus perhaps the best slider in the game will usually play—but they wanted to see if he could develop the stamina. So after he finished rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, they let him spend the winter before the 2024 season stretching out. He was so dominant in spring training that they made him the Opening Day starter—his first major league start. 

“I was just like, ” he recalls. “”
